The End of Net Neutrality
Peter Van Doren The US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit last week decided that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) lacked the legal authority to issue so-called ” net neutrality” rules. While net neutrality sounds appealing, the actual internet experience that we have come to expect requires non-neutrality.

Earlier this year, a federal judge sentenced a former IRS contractor to five years in prison for leaking the tax returns of multiple high-profile billionaires.
